It is a very friendly,positive work enviornment. Co-workers are intelligent and willing to help out. There are 3 cafeterias on-site and provide very good food at a reasonable price. Also if you like the smell of cheese or salad dressing this is the place for you. There are so many positions that moving upward is not a hard task to accomplish (if you put in the time and effort).

Cons

You have to wear a uniform (becuase engineering jobs are located on-site at the manufacturing facilities). While moving up the ladder is not hard, you have to be flexable and be willing to take a job on off hours (2nd or 3rd shift... so not 9-5) or be willing to change locations. There is much more upward mobility if you want to move around alot, but for me I would rather find a stable place to live.

Compensation and benefits seem to be on par with other companies and on a personal level I was treated with a tremendous amount of respect by our management team.

Cons

There was little room for growth and not many opportunities to expand technical experience which you may expect at a food company. Once an employee gets "locked" into a role it's difficult to move out.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

There are always going to be 9 to 5'ers that go to work simply to pay their bills. However, there are many people that truly care about the company they work for, take pride in the work they do, and always strive for the best results possible. Take care of these people.
